Advantech-Innocore has announced its latest gaming motherboard: the DPX-E250.
The DPX-E250 is a Xeon-capable motherboard featuring the fourth generation Intel Core architecture CPUs.
The board has I/O and COMs features optimised for gaming including full size connectors for easy harnessing, lots of USB and COM port connectors, flexible storage options, a graphics expansion slot, two DVI connectors and one display port for monitor connections.
The board also has a write-protected BIOS in a removable module. This allows it to meet regulatory requirements in jurisdictions where the BIOS must be field-verifiable and locked against modifications.
For deeply embedded applications such as standalone lottery terminals or kiosks the LVDS port on the DPX-E250 provides a cost-effective interface for driving large screen LCD panels.
Two Mini-PCIe sockets (both with USB) and a SIM card socket provide interfaces for expansion to add devices such as wi-fi card or modems and SIM card. A wide variety of storage devices are supported including SATA SSD, SATA DOM, m-SATA, USB drive. For convenience the DPX-E250 can be operated from either a single rail 12VDC cabinet power source or an ATX power supply.
